Effect of Geniposide on Subacute Hepatotoxicity and Nephrotoxicity in Normal and Jaundice Rats
Objective: To compare the subacute liver and kidney toxicity of geniposide in normal and jaundice rats
and provide a scientific basis for clinical use of gardenia.Method: The 80 SD rats were randomly divided into 8 groups:blank group
normal rats low
medium and high dose administration groups (60
180
360 mg·kg-1)
jaundice model control group and jaundice model low
medium and high dose administration groups. Jaundice model was induced by α-naphthalene isothiocyanate (ANIT)
and geniposide was given by intragastric administration after 24 hours. Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
aspartate aminotransferase (AST)
total bilirubin (TBIL)
blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (SCr) activity were measured on the 7th day and the 14th day after administration. Rat liver and kidney tissues were harvested for pathological examination.Result: Compared with the blank group
TBIL and SCr were significantly increased in the normal rats middle and high dose groups on the 7th and 14th days (P <0.05
P <0.01); the levels of ALT
AST and TBIL were significantly increased in rats of jaundice model group (P <0.05
P <0.01). Compared with jaundice model group
AST level of jaundice model low and medium dose groups was significantly increased on the 7th and 14th days (P <0.01)
and the TBIL and BUN levels were increased in jaundice model medium dose group (P<0.05). 7 days after ig administration
all the rats died successively in jaundice model high-dose group. The pathological section showed:after administration in normal rats
very mild inflammatory cell infiltration and basophilic changes in renal tubulars appeared
model control group and jaundice rats in each dose group showed bile duct epithelial hyperplasia
fibrous tissue hyperplasia
and the severity was increased with dose increasing.Conclusion: The ig administration of geniposide at a dose of more than 180 mg·kg-1 (equivalent to about 55 g·d-1 for Gardeniae Fructus) can cause hepatic and renal damage to normal and jaundice rats after 14 days of continuous intragastric administration. When the dose was over 60 mg·kg-1
the liver injury in jaundice model rats was aggravated
and the severity was increased with dose increase.
